Okay, so three out of the four of us have had the dreadful stomach virus that has been going around. So far, I have avoided having it. I have washed my hands so much trying to avoid it that I now have a dry skin rash of the back of my hand. No worries, it will get better. I'd rather have a rash than to be throwing up.
My oldest daughter spent some time with her grandparents on Saturday and got sick in their car on the way home. With this in mind, someone in our family has gotten sick every two weeks. Will I manage to avoid it?
I guess that a bad allergy season will work it's magic with me. I don't usually have very much trouble with pollen, but over the last few years, it has gotten worse. This spring has hit me with a furry. Well, I suppose it is allergies. My toddler had another round of croup and now I have a stuffy nose and sneezing. Is it just a coincidence?
This seems to be spreading through the family. My older daughter is coughing and now my husband is complaining of not feeling well. I guess we will see what happens. I am hoping a full recovery will be enjoyed by all soon.
As I sit here and type, my toddler is having a snack. I am never able to finish anything without her needing something. I started with laundry this morning and had to stop to get her a nap. Well, 15 minutes later, nap time is over and the consolation begins. This takes a good 30 minutes or so. Oh, but wait a minute. "I need more water, Mommy." Type. "Firsh, pease." See, it's never ending. I do good to finish a sentence. I suppose I will get back upstairs to finish the laundry at some point today.
My house is a wreck. I, with my mom's help, prepared a meal for 50 men at our church this week. Wild and crazy! I have never cooked for that many before. With this in mind. I have not done anything around the house. Hosting my parents from out of town, making and delivering and birthday cake, family pictures, and an easter egg hunt have kept us running through the weekend. I am finally at home long enough to clean up.
I will probably fix something simple for dinner. That way, I can focus on cleaning. Sloppy Joes sound good. I guess I should get some hamburger meat out to thaw.
How will Dad feel when he gets home from work? I hope he is feeling better. I love when he walks in the door.
